You are right but if you give them the style number that located on the creed stamp they would be able to tell you the name of the bag as well.

Please, when replying to a specific post, use the QUOTE button so we know who you're replying to - that's probably mentioned in the Forum FAQs. It's always a good idea to read them.

Secondly, if you're replying to me and post 4191 specifically, I did give the style name. If you want to double-check it on your computer, go right ahead. Some of us actually do keep records and old catalogs.

And if you work in a Coach store as you seem to have suggested, I'm sure you and all other SAs have better things to do with your time than looking up style numbers, whether by phone or in person. (Did you take the time to look it up, BTW?)

That's why we have an "ID This Coach Item" thread. And if we can't ID an item, we'll suggest calling Coach's CS number as a last resort, NOT bothering a store employee.

Does anyone know if there was another classic coach handbag made with a wooden dowel at the top other than the Willis or Station Bag? I have a green leather bag with a dowel across the top that has a wider body. Trying to identify. Will post pictures later.

There were quite a few bags with dowels, but as you said we need to see photos and serial numbers as well. If there aren't any letters of the alphabet in the serial number, we also need to know the measurements. (The Station Bag didn't have a dowel, BTW).

Hi ladies.
I m new to this forum but before buying my new coach from eBay, i wanted to do some homework to make sure i haven't bought something fake neither from some coach outlets. Yes, I would say that i m not a fan of outlet purses at all, not because of the quality reasons or any other but i am just obsessed with 'Coach Boutique bags' because of their 'originality' but under a reasonable price.

Anyways i have question and seek some help regarding this issue. I just bought MADISON PATENT LEATHER LINDSEY PLUM BAG from eBay. So i asked the seller to make sure that it must not be some coach factory outlet item neither should it bare any bulls eye or target sign. So she was adamant that its from Coach Boutique Store and i trusted her. I just got bag and got disappointed to see a light imprint of bulls eye on the right hand side with the serial number on the coach creed G1193-18627, but the surprising thing is, it has the FP tag on it plus with the Coach factory tag.

Now please help me find out what store does it originally belong to?

Brief info:

Serial number : G1193-18627
Light imprint of bulls eye on the right hand side
Full Price tag with coach factory tag as well.

Thanx please respond asap :))

Are you questioning authenticity? Are you questioning quality?

I'm not sure why you care whether a bag has a bullet or not as long as it's a boutique bag. Understand that if you want a boutique bag that was never sent to the outlets, the seller paid full price for it, so in order for that seller to recoup her investment (plus make a bit of profit) you'll have to pay way more than you probably paid for that same bag. Because your seller was a savvy enough shopper to get it from the outlet, she paid less than retail so you got a deal.

If you are questioning authenticity, see post #1 for the posting format and post your question here: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-694619.html#post19464109

ETA: I'm not sure what your aversion is regarding items from the outlet. In the olden days, "outlets" had a reputation and connotation that they were where the damaged, irregular and second quality items went. Nowadays, that's not the case. Although sometimes shopworn items do get sent to outlets, most outlet items are first quality, either boutique deletes or MFF (made for factory) items.

Okay. Here are the pictures. Sorry about the reference to the Station Bag.:blushing:

Thank you for reply. I just wanted to confirm that. I think every person has its own requirement before buying anything. Perhaps this is mine and many others i have seen on this forum with same obsession. To tell you, a bullet does appear a little cheap and same bags without any bullet print, are being
sold on eBay too but i was a bit impatient and bought it without much speculation.

I can't help, but I'm not getting a good vibe from the first bag. Does the lining look like it hasn't been sewn in correctly?

BTW, according to what I saw posted here a while back, Cashin Coach bags can't be given a bath, it will cause damage.

I have 2 of the buckets at home. Let me check them later or tomorrow AM.

I have 2 authentic Bonnie Cashin bags with the striped lining. Both of them have the lining that "buckles" up and doesn't stick flat to the leather.

I see nothing wrong with the bag.
